2. The Society will satisfy ourselves that anyone we delegate our functions and responsibilities to under the terms agreed is competent to carry them out.
3. An ISA begins from the date the subscription is made, provided there is a valid application in place. This means that applications may be accepted before the tax year in which subscriptions can be made.
4. You may decide not to proceed with the ISA contract within 14 calendar days (excluding public holidays) of the receipt by the Society of the application to open this ISA account. Any decision to close your account within this period should be notified to us in writing to our Principal Office. In these circumstances we will return the full amount of your outstanding capital together with any interest earned with no additional charges incurred. You will then be free to subscribe to another ISA in the same tax year.
